The Textbook of my Dreams

I'd heard that this book was incredibly comprehensive but I still didn't expect to receive a massive textbook. Within 24 hours I'd started cataloging all of the native plants on my property and doing deep dives into all of their uses across native cultures. It's a splurge so it's been on my wish list for a while and I'm so happy I finally bought it. It's already proving to be an amazing resource.
